Having just reason to dread the bf severe displeasure of the people for molt of his mea- ag fures, it cannot be doubted that Writers will be m kept in pay to vindicate his official conduit, .and to f 0 defame his opponents. q With refpeft >o the measures recommended by co Mr. Jefferfon, telounteraft those of Great-Bri- G t. tain; they are so connected with his correspondence 0 f with Mr. Hammond refpedting the non-execution of the Tieaty of Peace, that, in order to have a c ] s complete view of the fubjeft, it will be proper to M advert a little to that correspondence, for which he R, n has received so much applanfe from his Panegy- f m ie rifts. ® It is not intended- to deny to Mr. Jefferfon tlyr tm S merit of having devoted considerable pain* to the f o j k collection and digesting of the materials which were 0 f i fursiftied him f«yn vaiiaus_ijiiArX«*_of theTfffilWJ" "ess n and by the other beads of the executive department, *vii > nor to withhold from him the requisite tribute of £ d approbation for some /kill and ingenuity in com- we menting upon tbem.

However anxious Mr. Jefferfon might > have been, at that moment, to display his zeal for the government, and bis separation from Genet, the fubjedt matter of the correfpondcnce did by no - means require the full avowal of the right on the ' part of Gicat-Britain : it would have been fuffi r cicnt to have stated, that negociations with that e country were then on foot, in which this matter x f f would be attempted to be fettled advantageously for France as wel| aa ourldves; or even if it had been necessary, then the correfpondcnce, as far aa it relatpH m iLi — i to l /, published—Whereas his very lengthy and labored 1 argument to cllablifh the right of Great-Britain, r under the law of nations, has not only prevented 1 our obtaining a favorite alteration, but has even thereby laid the found* -- i for those very measures, which are now direSed to hit aggrandizement.
